Remembering Chris Ruiz

Donation protected
After high school Christopher entered the US Marine Corps; something he always knew he wanted to do. A short while later we were married and started our life together. We were married for 9 amazing years when he decided to separate from the Marine Corps and take a government contractor position in Afghanistan. Chris worked hard to provide for our family and we decided to settle down in Menifee, California where we purchased our first home together.

Early morning on October 2, 2015 Christopher, along with others, were aboard a military transport plane which experienced a malfunction and crashed leaving no survivors.

Christopher spent most of his childhood in Santa Ana, Ca and spent some time in Pensacola, Fl and Lemoore, Ca. He is survived by his high school sweetheart Lorelyn, his three beautiful children; a 5 year old daughter, a 3 year old son, a 1 year old daughter and his loving mother and extended family and friends.

All proceeds from this campaign will go to support his wife and three children with funeral expenses as well as living and education expenses for the children.
